HWZone have a 10-course GeForce 8800GT Feast. Doing our part to keep the buzz alive, we have taken ten GeForce 8800 GT cards and put them through our benchmarks to help you decide which is the one for you.

DriverHeaven meanwhile compared three video cards as well: XFX Geforce 8800 GT 512MB XXX, Sapphire HD 3870 512MB and Asus EAH 3870 512 MB. Our review will be covering comparisons between the 8800GT XXX, 3870, 2900 XT and stock 8800 GT using the latest games and high definition movies.

Tech-Report updated their system guide for November. The past few months have seen the release of a deluge of new PC components that offer solid value for the average enthusiast's PC—not just the high-end stuff with elaborate, snaking heatpipes and outrageous price tags, but truly affordable hardware with next-generation performance.

PC-Perspective looked at the UT3 PhysX Mod in detail. The basic idea behind the PhysX mod to the UT3 is that it allows much of level to be destroyed based on the users actions: ala firing a gun at a wall blows it up.

Digit-Life cover choosing an AM2 motherboard for a mid-range machine. To uncover the full potential of the newest quad-core AMD Phenom X4 and FX processors one should install these into Socket AM2+ boards based on AMD 790FX, 790X and 770 chipsets. However, the new processors can be installed into Socket AM2 boards as well.

LegitReviews looked at tight timings for DDR3 memory. When LR first looked at various DDR3 memory modules back in July they were running 1333MHz and had timings that ranged from 7-7-7-20 to 9-9-9-24, which didn't sound too impressive to enthusiasts. We were recently testing some new memory kits from Corsair Memory and was able to reach 4-4-4-12 timings at 1333MHz and even higher! The days of saying DDR3 can't do tight timings is long gone.

Citrix (who make remote-access solutions) reckon that 23% of Americans are working from anywhere, not just a traditional workplace, thanks Craig. More people are performing at least part of their jobs from virtually anywhere, at any hour of the day, thanks to technology that allows them to “take their office with them” wherever they go.
